Council Tax
2012 / 2013 Annual Council Tax Bill
Why has my Council Tax bill gone up?
The amount you pay for your Council Tax is split between Melton
Borough Council, Leicestershire County Council, The Fire Service,
Leicestershire Police & the Parish you live in.
Melton Borough Council, Leicestershire County Council &
Leicestershire Fire & Rescue have not increased the Council
Tax. The Police authority increased their share of the Council Tax
by 2.5% and your Parish may have also increased the Council Tax
depending on where you live.
Please see your Council Tax bill for a breakdown of how these
charges have been arrived at.
Council Tax Leaflet Clarification
The Council would like to clarify that in the introduction in
the Council Tax leaflet, by the Leader – Councillor Byron Rhodes
writing on behalf of Melton Borough Council, where he states that
the Council Tax has not increased, this comment was in respect of
the Melton Borough Council tax element rather than in reference to
any of the other pre-cepting Authorities.
Council Tax payments for ***Santander
Customers ***
We have been informed by the banking industry
(BACs) that a number of Direct Debits were recently recalled. In
some cases this may have happended 2 or 3 times.
We have been informed that in some cases
Santander no longer have an instruction to pay certain customers
Direct Debits or the Direct Debit has been cancelled despite
regular payments being previously received.
We are urging customers to speak to your
Santander branch as soon as possible. in the meantime you will
shortly receive a letter informing you of the recent problem and in
some cases a new Direct Debit may need to be set up to cover any
further Council Tax payments. Santander have informed us that if
you go into your branch they will reinstate the Direct Debit
straight away.
We apologise for any inconvenience this has
caused and we continue to work with Santander to resolve
this issue. Santander can be contacted 0845 724 724
